The Contemporary's Mickey Head inspired me to create one for my own apartment balcony. During the day it just showed as a Green Garland wrapped Mickey, but at night it was encased in rope lighting that made it look like neon tube lighting. Christmas 2015 sees a return of the Mickey Christmas head as the main focus and medium and smaller Mickey Heads that will blink off and on! (always planning a year ahead:-) )

Of all the resorts, the Contemporary should update the decorations the most. A Mickey outline covered in outdoor carpeting is not very contemporary. Nor, I guess is Tomorrowland very futuristic. This points out a weakness in the company's or perhaps our own ability to have a vision for the future and the reaction to contemporary trends is slow.

Anyone have pics from the lobby inside the Villas at the GF?

My local mall is more decorated than that. And to think how well Christmas (um, excuse me, "Holidays") matches so well with "music" as for a theme. You would think that you would see decorations of carolers holding music books (or hymn books) in a music-themed resort... Maybe even a little drummer boy... or, for the "all star" theme, some framed pics or posters of famous classic singers' Christmas albums (say, Elvis' Christmas album, Amy Grant's, Bing Crosby's, Frank Sinatra's, etc.). Just my thoughts of what I might have expected in creativity and theming for that resort.

Everyone realizes. There has to be budget, time and most important, the will from someone to get it done. We'll see more decorations again in the future.

maybe we'll get lucky and they'll put the BAH on top of Spaceship Earth?

Great, since that BAH is coming down I'm now imagining the Chinese theater with a Santa Hat. But that's for another thread. Don't worry folk, for every improvement made there is an equal and opposite reaction somewhere on property. The balance must be kept.

well they could put a santa hat on the BAH? :p

The initial build of the wreath was charged to BLT construction. I can only assume it may have needed a refresh for which there was no money in the budget. Where have I heard that one before
